Ringo is still under the impression that it wasn't him on drums when Love Me Do was originally released in 1962 - it was! The album version isn't him though - it's session musician Andy white - but he does play a mean tambourine!

In 1964, Ringo's version was scrapped, and the album version was used on all subsequent releases and re-issues right up until it re-appeared on Capitol's Beatle Rarities LP in the late Seventies. It later surfaced on the UK 20th Anniversary 12" single re-issue and then on the Past Masters CD.

*Note: There was a boxed set of Beatles LPs released in the Eighties which featured the Ringo version - it also appeared on a few obscure overseas LPs (not US or UK).
